Perfecting Eliot Shaw (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798710812792)

After finishing his graduate work at Yale late in the summer, the brilliant and wealthy Eliot reluctantly takes a one-year position at Steuben College. Although Steuben is a good school, Eliot wants to be at a major university, and he dreads spending a year in a backwater. When Eliot arrives at Steuben, things are even worse than he feared. His neighbor is an irritating, if beautiful, mathematician. Luke, one of his colleagues in the history department, went to a community college. His aunt, who committed the unpardonable sin of marrying a farmer, lives nearby. And perhaps most unsettling of all, a girlfriend from his Harvard days, and the only woman he ever had feelings for, has also joined the faculty. But when Luke discovers manuscripts that shed new light on the Oneida Community, Eliot's attitude begins to change.After finishing his graduate work at Yale late in the summer, the brilliant and wealthy Eliot reluctantly takes a one-year position at Steuben College.
